Can't use all RAM slots on Asus P6T Deluxe with Scythe Mugen 2, any suggestions?

So the fan is blocking the first two RAM slots. I thinking about moving the fan from push on the front to pull at the back, but I don't think the cooling will be as effective will it?
Are there super thin 120mm fans available so that I can still have a push fan whilst populating all 6 slots?

Daft comment - Does the ram not fit under the fan!


I assume your not running in triple channel mode.
 
Are you gonna be using 12gb? You could try the fan on the rear of the cooler, i have the same board and i can confirm, one cooler that does fit with all ram slots populated is the, thermalright ultra extreme, you can still use standard 25mm depth 120mm fans, they can be had pretty cheap second hand now.

lol, not daft at all as it does using the low profile RAM in there at the mo, but I think when I go to populate all the slots I may end up using RAM with taller heatsinks which is where I'm going to run into trouble. Nah, I don't think I'm running in triple channel but can't seem to tell either way.

Yeah, it will be 12GB and I've already thought about moving the fan to the back but I'm just worried about cooling and didn't know if there might be really slim 120mm fans available so I could still squeeze one on the front. I suppose I'll just test the temps and see how it goes, but I want to do my best to OC to 4Ghz. Will deffo take a peek at those ultra extremes otherwise though.
 
The ultra will cope very well at 4ghz, i had it along with ocz reaper ram, (extremely tall heatsinks). Upon first building my rig, i had the ram in the wrong slots, black instead of orange, it did at least let me know that if i ever did go to 12gb it would fit ok.

Good advice here. I couldn't sell my lapped TRUE for more than the cost of postage a while back :(

Moving the fan to the other side of the cooler won't matter a great deal, just do that. Thinner fans than 25mm are bad things to put on heatsinks even if you manage to find one.
